Maria Najjar of Hingham was among the women who shared their breast cancer stories with us for our pink edition.

DIAGNOSED: May 2009

HER STORY: “My sister inspired me. She was diagnosed before I was, so naturally I turned to her for strength. After I was diagnosed with breast cancer I felt like my life was coming to an end. I have two children. How can this happen to me, I thought. All my new doctors were at Faulkner Hospital; they were wonderful. They showed me the way to a full recovery and gave me my life back. That, I’m am truly grateful for.”

WORDS OF ADVICE: “I would tell other women to put your trust in the wonderful doctors that we have here in Massachusetts. They truly saved my life and my family’s, too. A great support system.”
